Demons (2005)

Dann Florek: Captain Donald 'Don' Cragen

Quotes 

• Elliot Stabler : Ray had a partner before, he needs one now. I'm it. I promise I'll stop him before he hits again.

  Donald Cragen : You're gonna stop him how? Today, you used the police entrance at Parole. Undercover, you're gonna through the metal detector like a perp. No gun, no shield.

• Donald Cragen : I'm pulling Elliot out.

  Olivia Benson : Captain, trust his instincts.

  Donald Cragen : I did. He was wrong.

  Olivia Benson : Ray still could have raped the girl at the bus station and he could rape again.

  Donald Cragen : We dangled some beautiful bait in front of his nose and he walked away.

  Olivia Benson : He could have made Lucy as a cop.

  Donald Cragen : And maybe he's not a rapist anymore. If he has changed, baiting him is like putting a bottle of scotch in front of a guy with two weeks sobriety.

  Olivia Benson : Elliot isn't encouraging him to do it. Captain, recovery is the same for alcoholics or for sex offenders. Some people have the willpower to change, others don't.

  Donald Cragen : And that makes what we're doing okay?

  Olivia Benson : If Ray's been rehabilitated, I will be the first one to apologize. But if he's still a rapist, we have to stop him. You gotta leave Elliot in.
